Salmonella Typhimurium Infection Reduces the Ascorbic Acid Uptake in the Intestine

Figure 1

Effect of Salmonella infection on ¹⁴C-AA uptake in mouse jejunum. Streptomycin-pretreated mice were infected with Salmonella (WT) or mutant (Δ invA Δ spiB) (100 μl of 10¹⁰ bacteria/ml) by oral gavage. ¹⁴C-AA uptake was subsequently determined in mouse jejunum after 72 h following oral gavage. Values are of at least 3 sets of animals. .
